Green Cove Springs, FL Overview

Considered by many to be the most popular resort between Jacksonville and Palatka, the charming and congenial community of Green Cove Springs creates images of picture-book enchantment along a scenic bend of St. Johns River.  Home to popular hotels, towering trees,  and tranquil neighborhoods, the city is famous for the mineral spring that produces 3,000 gallons of strongly sulphurous water each minute.  Opposite Green Cove on the river's east bank lies a similar spring in Remington Park.  Boasting a rich and colorful history that includes pirates who filled caskets from the springs, the area once hosted winter guests like Abraham and Mary Lincoln.  Thousands of gallons of water from Magnolia Springs have been bottled and sold.  Stories even circulate about frequent visitor Grover Cleveland having a shipment sent directly to the White House.  The city enjoys a location just 27 miles south of Jacksonville on U.S. Highway 17.  Recreational activities include camping, boating, golfing, swimming, and picnicking at premier sites like Gold Head Branch State Park.
